Carey Mulligan is dishing on her Hollywood connections!

It all started earlier this year when Carey worked on Maestro with Bradley Cooper, which Steven is executive producing. She previously found out that Steven and his wife Kate Capshaw were big fans of Mumford & Sons, so she decided to send the couple Marcus‘ debut solo album.
“Not long after that, we got a video of Steven and Kate dancing in their kitchen to one of the songs,” Carey said. ”And it was so lovely and they were so supportive and so sweet.”
Months later, Carey said Marcus was frantic about getting the music video for “Cannibal” done, so he proposed an interesting idea.
“He says, ‘We really need a video, and I just had this idea, and would it be mad if like … would it be really rude if we asked Steven?’ And I was like, ‘Steven — sorry, sorry, Steven Spielberg?’” Carey recalled.
In July, Carey asked Steven to direct the music video, and he agreed!
“They [Marcus and Steven] got on the phone and then the next day, they were scouting locations,” Carey added.
